specifications

nvpy is a simplenote-syncing note-taking utility inspired by nvALT (OS X) and ResophNotes (Windows). It is significantly uglier, but it is cross-platform. Yes, you heard right, you can run this on Linux (tested), Windows (tested) and OS X (in theory).

It was written by Charl Botha, who needed a simplenote client on Linux and doesn't mind ugliness (that much). nvpy lives happily at https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy

Installation

To install the latest development version from github, do:

pip install git+https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy.git#egg=nvpy

OR, to install the version currently on pypi, do:

pip install nvpy

OR, you can of course use easy_install instead:

easy_install nvpy

github always has the latest development version, whereas I upload tagged snapshots (v0.3 for example) to pypi.

How to run for the first time

Create a file called .nvpy.cfg in your home directory that looks like the following:

If you installed this via pip install, you should now be able to start the application by typing "nvpy". The first time you run it, it will take a while as it downloads all of your simplenote notes. Subsequest runs are much faster as it uses the database it stores in your home directory.
